Plenty of run in the hawks. We’re going to have to work hard today.

    As we’ve become used to, the umpiring is inexplicable. Hawks picking us apart with apparent ease. Will we wake up?

    Really disappointing. Thought we'd jump them.

    We need to beat them up around the ball, they are very very good at retaining possession 

    Well it's easy when you know how they play and don't man up, Salem needs a spell soft as.

    Loved the one where the Hawthorn player dropped it so quickly that it became a 'holding the man' against Gawn. If one rule isn't enforced, the effect of the other rules change dramatically.

    Meanwhile, I have never seen Oliver that angry at any time for any reason. Does anyone have a clue what was going on?

    Yeah Oliver's getting tagged and can't deal with it 

    Is it just me? Why does there have to be something happening every minute. Why the need kicking into the box at quarter time. While I am being grumpy do people come to watch the game if so why do they constantly go in and out of their seats?


    1st quarter 

    Poor. Slow. 

    Salem 🤯🤮🤯🤮🤯 handballs to no one 

    May slow and unmanned 

    Bowey lost in space 

    Trac - is he playing ? 

    Oliver - tagged and now mcguiness owns him !! 

    Pickett 🤡 runs into trouble

    Typical Hawthorn playing the man not the ball all day

    Said it in the changes thread, no idea why we are playing Laurie. It's too late in the season for us to blood players like that when we could be getting game time into the likes of Hibberd or Spargo.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
